Kamelot, Alissa White-Gluz - Prodigal Son lyrics

Essence of beauty taken too soon
Princess of hope
Deep in our hearts you live on

Essence of goodness goddess of life
Give us the power
God give us strength to live on

Essence of beauty taken too soon
Princess of hope
Deep in our hearts you live on

Essence of goodness goddess of life
Give us the power god give us strength
Give us the strength to live on

(What have we done?) how could this happen
Of what have we done?
Will our tears ever pay for our sin?

Mother forgive us we need all your love
To fight and to carry the burden of shame

Hereby we swear that for as long as we live
We will not soil our name

The truth made of iron
Will seal it with pain
Until death our secret remains

Until death our love remains
And in death our love re-framed

A minute away but worlds apart
Brothers in blood now divided in heart

By grief and sorrow one is striving to repay
Behind the palisade he lives
His destined life
The music and the tears are piercing
Through the walls
Turn to nightmares and there is
No escape at all

Oh joyful childhood you died so young!

Every child follows blind
On the journey we call life
Learning every day
(Learning with every step)
Given love or given hate
Determines everybody's fate in life
Be careful what you give!

A stranger to love and affection on the run
In search of shelter in the solitude of sin
A drifter in the dark a soldier
Of the pain
A constant slave under the belt of misery

Oh joyful childhood you died so young!

Every child follows blind
On the journey we call life
Learning every day
(Learning with every step)
Given love or given hate
Determines everybody's fate in life
Be careful what you give!
